Anyway, regarding the question of "why even bothering to make this change if everything will stay the same" I'll give you an example: Maybe production will stay "the same" but strategy will surely change. Now you won't be able to move to ETA 7 locations you'll have to wait 1 more tick. In normal tick servers you can't move 3.5 ticks, you'll have to wait for 4 to come. That's the "problem", as well as many of us being able to play this common servers more than playing double tick servers.

from the sounds of it, every thing will be the same. its just 1 tick an hour instead of two.

sense eta will be half on this server, and worker growth will be half. its all basically the same right? so why is every one so bothered by the idea?

Even said production would be the same? so same amount of metal every day too?

Yes this world is going to be set to basically mirror a lot of the real-world timing of the current Earth 1-3 worlds but turns won't process as often so you won't have to log in every 30 minutes to see what's happening, you can log in 1/2 as often . This caters to players who don't want to be logging in as often and wish to be a little more laid back & strategic. Also we may be dropping the minimum attack ETA in the other Earth worlds so that there is more action there. Being as we now have a 60 minute tick world we can speed up the squad traveling in the 30 min tick world a little.

Originally the plan was to take the best elements of the 30 min tick worlds and the the 60 min tick worlds from the old client and bridge the 2 together. That is how we ended up with the 30 min tick worlds with 6 tick minimum attack distance that we have in the new client. A lot of the feedback we have received though has led us to the point that having faster paced and slower paced worlds would be better. That way we can cater to the really active hardcore type players who want more action and players who want a more thoughtful, strategic and slower paced game.

I guess the 1 hour tick will be ok...Just one problem, I'm not really patient. The ETA 3 is finally coming back, I'm sure a lot of people will be glad to hear that again. There is also one more thing, I'm sure a lot of people are anxious to see Fantasy and Mars worlds. When will you open them?

I'm suggesting stopping on the Earth worlds for a while and start workin' on the Fantasy and Mars worlds.
